Authentication & Authorization: Theory, Techniques, and Tools

An ongoing & curated collection of awesome AuthN+Z software, software best practices and techniques, libraries and frameworks, E-books and videos, websites, blog posts, links to github Repositories, technical guidelines and important resources about Authentication & Authorization & SSO & IAM in Cybersecurity

Thanks to all contributors, you're awesome and wouldn't be possible without you! Our goal is to build a categorized community-driven collection of very well-known resources

Authentication (aka AuthN) and authorization (aka AuthZ) are both security measures. Authentication is the process of verifying who you are. Authorization is the process of verifying that you have access to something. Authorization occurs after successful authentication.

Authorization

Access priviledges granted to a user, program, or process or the act of granting those privileges.
